Fortum's Russian subsidiary OAO Fortum and the Chelyabinsk Region Administration have agreed on extensive cooperation in the area of energy efficiency. The parties intend to implement a number of energy efficiency measures during 2010-2012 in the Chelyabinsk region.rnThe largest operation in the programme is the automation and upgrade of the Chelyabinsk district heating system, which will reduce energy losses in the area by over 30 % as well as significantly decrease fuel consumption and emissions. A project this size is unique in Russia and will be partly funded by raising the district heating tariffs controlled by the region's administration. Once completed, consumers will be provided with uninterrupted and more affordable supply of district heat.
